I've been simplifying everything in our home. Since we now live in the city centre, our home is smaller so I've had to simplify and now realize its been really good for us. Sometimes less really is better.

Your fall decorations are beautiful...and I so agree...less really is more! We have a very small house and this time of the year, I used to fill every space that I could set something on. Then a few years ago I went through the entire house, including the attic, and de-cluttered. Now I am enjoying the freedom that using less (but still meaningful) pieces! I so enjoyed your post!

Yes my friend, these days it is all about less but mlre NATURE, and elements of wood, stone and lighter colors. It feels better to have choice pieces in a smaller number and less clutter of items that have no value (sentimental or vintage).

Oh Celestina,each piece is perfectly beautiful and I too love Your plate.It looks like several of the plates I inherited from My Mom.For several years I think in the 70s and 80s My Mom started collecting decorator plates.I still love a lot of them.Ever since My children grew up I decorate minimally for all the holidays except Christmas.I just don't want to do that for Christmas just yet,maybe some day if God allows Me several more years, Blessings and hugs sent Your way.Denise

Good Morning Celeste,I am going very simple on fall and even Christmas for this year. I think less is more. I am embracing the simple natural elements into my decor too. Love your scarecrow you painted for your kitchen. Kris

How are you, dearest Celeste? I've been working my way here for days, but adapting to my empty nest had my head in the clouds for a bit. I have to say that I'm actually liking the quiet, especially since I'm an only child. I'm slowly getting back to my art table too.I have so much catching up to do on your lovely page. Looking forward to it today.I've been simplifying for years now and it sure does feel great, doesn't it. I am SO looking forward to all the beautiful inspiration you'll share with us this autumn, my favorite season of all.Love and blessings, friend.xoxo

Dear Celeste,I am going with you,less often is more! I love your Autumn deoorations!I also only have little, I do not like too much everywhere in the house. But, Autmun is my favorite time of the year! I love those warm colours in the Nature....But anyway i am late, my decoration still is in the box ;O) Will take it out at the weekend...Wishing you a wonderful autumn time,take care,Love and hugs and blessings,Claudia xo

So pretty Celeste... I love your simplified Autumn pieces... that little Autumn plate with the critters is adorable!... and I also love the old crock that belonged to your grandma... I too am simplifying these days... many things I have donated, others I have packed away to save... I never part with sentimental treasures... I used to put so much out, now each individual piece gets full attention... your home looks lovely as always... hope you are enjoying these blissful Autumn days... much love, xoxo Julie Marie

Hello dear Celestina Marie,I love your fall decorated home, and that you are able to live with less is more.... I have very big difficulties doing that ,lol. I alwayes seem to put another piece and then one more, and I can`t find it in my heart ,to get rid of all my things, collected for years. Mind you, they are not all out alwayes , but I have just too much, to watch, sometimes.Your sweet scarecrow, is a wonderful piece, you made !Hugs, Dorthe

Celeste your simple fall decor is simply beautiful ;-)I started decorating also and kept it simple, I just need a couple of more little items then I will call it done ;-) I find I'm liking the simple decor as I get older...lol.....

I'm loving your less is more approach! So pretty. And the special memories attached...even better than a bunch of fall "stuff." I'm slowly getting a little fall decorating done. It's cooler and cloudy today so that helps with the motivation.Have a great week friend!Sherry

Your Fall décor is very pretty, Celeste. I'm with you and have been trying to keep most holiday simple in recent years. Less to have to clean up and store! I put a few things out for Fall last night. It's been a cloudy day so I don't think the pictures I took today will be any good to share. Still have to find a few more little pumpkins I have though so maybe another trip to the attic tonight to look for them.

It's so wonderful to simplify. I've been trying to do some of that myself lately. It's difficult weeding out the things you don't need anymore. But it becomes necessary as we've "gathered" more and more things. I've come to the point where I have to keep the things I really love and let someone else enjoy the rest! After all that's how I acquired so many treasures.

Celeste, you have such a lovely style! I love your Grandmother's crock! Your scarecrow is fabulous; you're so talented! Your Fall decor is so warm and inviting! I'm ready to do less, but haven't quite pared down my decorations yet!

Ooh, Celeste, your fall decor is beautiful. I definitely am with you on the simplification of decor. In fact, I have only 1 plastic box of fall decor, and that box actually contains fall and Easter. So, in reality, my fall decorations amount to only one half of a Rubbermaid container. But that is perfect for me. It brings a very simple fall touch.

After moving many times in the last few years, I definitely decorate with less - plus the fact that I have 6 cats pushing things off tables!!!!!It does make cleaning simpler to have less.I adore all your special décor.

Your fall touches are lovely Celeste. I have a box of autumn decorations but realized I don't care for much of them, so they are being donated. I am going all organic this year -- pumpkins, gourds, mums, sunflowers -- all things I can throw out after Thanksgiving. Oh, except for my brown transferware and dishtowels in fall colors and a wreath!Love your painted scarecrow, and the vintage towel. Simple, but beautiful, is good.

Oh Celeste, it was SO kind of you to come back to my post! That is what I love, when someone comes back, JUST BECAUSE. Enjoy the calm that nature and change in season has to offer your beautiful heart.

Love your Fall decor! With my plate running over with the daily tasks of life and a whole of lot of extra's right now...I see SIMPLICITY all the way for me for Fall! Some is simply because I have no choice and I have to "make choices" and I feel the Lord is teaching me the very act of simple! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Everything is stunning - you always do such a beautiful job on decorating.

I have not done one darn thing other than plant 4 mum plants in my pots. IT's to darn hot here to go into the garage and go through my marked plastic crates - I want to, but it's just to bloody hot! I sure hope this ends soon.Have a wonderful Fall weekend.Mary

I'm still unpacking and haven't found my fall decor yet... trying to convince my husband to just let me buy new, lol. I am waiting for the leaves to bloom here as we have such a lovely view! Enjoying the cooler temperatures and the beauty around me in nature. :-) Have a lovely evening!

Celeste,OMGosh I don't know how I missed this post! I agree "less is more" keeping it simple allows the eye to appreciate the beauty. Your flower arrangement in the vase is so Fall color rich ... absolutely stunning.XO,Vera
